British PM Johnson still in hospital with persistent coronavirus symptoms

Mon, 06th Apr 2020 06:25

LONDON, April 6 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson was still in hospital on Monday after suffering
persistent coronavirus symptoms 10 days after testing positive
for the virus, though Downing Street said he remained in charge
of the government.

"The PM is still at hospital," a British government source
said. "He spent the night in hospital."

Johnson, who had been isolating in Downing Street after
testing positive last month, was taken to hospital on Sunday
night because he still had a high temperature and his doctors
felt he needed additional tests.
